Only three games were played on Wednesday, New Hampshire split a doubleheader and Lansing won. Buffalo were rained out and Dunedin had a day off.

A trio of pitching prospects took the hill today.  Aaron Sanchez was excellent, Daniel Norris was OK while Deck McGuire was disappointing.  Miguel Batista, definitely not a prospect, pitched very well for Buffalo.  Buffalo kept on winning, Dunedin won too, but New Hampshire and Lansing lost.

Buffalo took both ends of a doubleheader.  Dave Bush and Claudio Vargas provided good starting pitching while Luis Jimenez and Anthony Gose provided the offense.  Dunedin had a come from behind win, Jon Berti was the star.  New Hampshire were shut out, Marcus Walden pitched better.  Lansing were beaten up badly but they did have 14 hits led by Christian Lopes.

New Hampshire and Dunedin were the winners, Lansing the losers and Buffalo were all wet. Austin Bibens-Dirkx got back on track with the Fisher Cats. Ryan Schimpf and Kevin Pillar had home runs, Pillar had to leg his out. Jesse Hernandez was outstanding for Dunedin, as was Jon Berti. Taylor Cole and Alonzo Gonzalez were roughed up in Fort Wayne.
